Along with Amber’13 Conference the Amber’13 Festival is taking place from 1 - 10 November 2013 and encourages you to “Fool Your Smartnessâ€. Instead of supporting the “ever-growing inflation of smartness†which promotes consumption and control, one should open up to foolishness, a new way of thinking, that allows critical interrogation, creative thinking and deconstruction.
